20 Essential Movie Performances That Will Define 2015

15. Emma Watson - Angela Gray (Regression)

Release Date: August 28 The Movie: Alejandro AmenĂ¡bar (The Others) writes and directs this thriller about a detective (Ethan Hawke) investigating an abuse case in which the perpetrator's repressed memories must be extracted by a psychologist (David Thewlis). The Role: Watson plays the daughter who is assaulted by her father, and who is a vital piece of the puzzle in figuring out quite what has happened. Why It'll Define 2015: Regression marks the first topless scene for Watson, which will be of considerable interest to anyone who fell in love with her as she blossomed in the later Harry Potter movies. Given that she's more than just a pretty face, though, there's probably a great performance here regardless of how she looks in the buff.
